We’ve helped more than two thousand historically marginalized business owners step into their confidence as leaders. Through education, peer mentorship, and coaching—we know that meaningful growth happens together.
Equal access to ownership with the tools to thrive is an economic imperative for effective social transformation. Sustainable economies and gender equality are not mutually exclusive.
We believe women should have the freedom to choose their pathway in life regardless of their gender and/or the norms associated with their gender identity.
We show up in a way that’s meaningful to us and our individual journeys, despite dominant narratives and norms that often don’t serve our authentic selves.
We are who we serve: we are run by women for women. We stand united for our collective rights to economic equality and to be heard, seen, and felt.
We are not asking the system to reform itself, we are emerging another way of doing things for the health of our shared humanity. Are you with us? We are innovative, bold, and resilient.
Often defined in terms of an increase in the size or scale of operations in an upward trend, we see growth in a more holistic and multidimensional way.
It takes the diversity of ideas and human experiences to make a whole and healthy social landscape.
Every woman has the right to believe in their unique capabilities to achieve their dreams. Women have a right to feel confident, perceive their own competence, feel a sense of belonging, and experience their value.
Our commitment to addressing structural disparities and challenging dominant norms hasn’t changed. But in the spirit of inclusivity and continued learning, the way we regard gender has. We’re striving for equitable access to business ownership—for an even wider range of marginalized people.
